Not a phrase or term but posting a pic of your bike more than 4 times a month should be stopped.

Epic.

Most over-used surfer/stoner phrase I have ever heard. I cringe when I hear or read it. Please make it stop.

I agree. Used WAY too liberally.

That being said, I think we could still classify 100 miles w/12,000 ft. climbing 'epic'.

That's prevalent everywhere, it seems. On one firearms website I visit everybody and their wannabe brother posts about how they're running this or running that.

yeah well, I usually run ketchup on my hamburgers and I always run similac in the baby's bottle. Sheesh...

Why would an all day session at Whistler not be "epic".

Epic.

It used to be a good one, but then everyone started using it and now its dead. People need to widen their vocabularies. If we had richer vocubalaries we wouldn't have to exhaust every new word or phrase that appeared. We should speak in metaphor. For example:

"Your bike is an epic fail"

Should become

"Your bike is a lamb among lions"

I agree on Epic, the word has lost it's magnitude from over use.

Okay, I hate all the 1980's hip-hop lingo that hipsters use nowadays to be ironic and cool.

Suspension is always "plush".
